What makes it slightly worse are the odds that the space will sit unused for an arbitrary length of time. Down the street from there is a big "space available" sign that three-odd years ago was a decent movie theater; how much money someone has lost from that extended vacancy is a staggering thought. Similarly, over in Central, TT the Bear's closed last year because the property owners raised the rent; it's also now an empty space in one of the highest-value areas of town. Cambridge is becoming more and more expensive, but at the same time becoming worse managed.
